Backloaded

[shaharhada]

Because I not English-native.
When I said that OS is backloaded, what this mean? Can I use it like that? What is the definition of that word (not related to other thread)?
What the meaning of it?

I throw into this question, have never encountered that myself. Do you happens to have a reference on where that term is used, so maybe we can at least attempt on an educated guess of the meaning ?

Can it be a mis-spelling, as if it was actually ment to be "bloated"? That is if an OS is very resource demanding despite it's performance (actual definition may differ).

In general, done at a later date.

Reference:

https://www.yourdictionary.com/backload

For example: you build a computer but do not install a boot drive because the drive is not available. And will not be avialable for two weeks.

The computer is all put together but the physical drive can only be installed later on.

Maybe after the computer is shipped to someone somewhere else who then completes the build by "backloading" the drive.

Backloading is usually to keep things moving and save time.

Instead of holding the computer for the drive to arrive the computer is sent and the drive is likewise sent to the same location.

If drive shipping time to computer = 2 weeks and computer shipping time to destination takes 2 weeks then total time = 4 weeks. (Serial)

But if you ship the drive to destination while computer is also being shipped the total time would be two weeks . (Parallel.)

Both are delivered at the destination and the drive is "backloaded" completing the computer build.

But OP ask for "OS is backloaded" 🤔

May not be a thing at all ?

Could it be that the OS is installed in the mall, last step before buyer get it in hand ?

Backloading could be a poorly translated instance of downgrading an OS? Maybe using a backup image or restore point?

Could just be re-loading as well.
